Well, I would have expected it seeing they had 400 in stock. They havent been made in a long while now and they were cheaper, entry level pumps, which means they sold hand over fist, so anyplace having that many in stock kinda sends a red flag up for me. You can get them for false advertising.

Foughtwolf, Gunit Paintball is actually producing new Mavericks. They bought the rights to do so.

Curious about the internals. They the same as the Trracer / Mavericks or are there changes there as well? Also, do they have the adjustable bolts in them?

Would be great to see pics comparing old and new if you have both.

The internals are the same, and it looks like it has the adjustable bolt but it wont turn. It's the same gun but it feels cheaper. It has no serial number and it doesn't have any brand name on it.

Sounds to me that you either got a lemon, or they outsourced production for really cheap... or maybe both.

Really? Now that I was not aware of, in that case its sad to see such a marker done for.

Honestly, the Maverick pretty much has a monopoly on the low to mid end pump market. The only other comparable guns I can think of are the Phantom at $100 more, and PMP kit Trilogies which require a bit of assembly and are more expensive.

The quality may have gone down, but they don't have any competition at the current price.
